The danger is on your plate!
Fast food may be tasty, but no one in their right minds will believe for a minute that it’s healthy. There are dozens of fast food restaurants in any given area of any city, and it’s hard to avoid the temptation of quick, cheap, and easy food. But, if you want to be safe, it’s best to avoid fast food as a rule, and the following foods in particular:
- McDonald’s Big Breakfast — With 1500 calories, 21 grams of saturated fat, and over 2,300 milligrams of sodium, it’s a heart attack waiting to happen!
- KFC’s Crispy Chicken Meal –– Factor in the crispy chicken, the potato wedges, macaroni and cheese, and a biscuit, and you’re eating 5,000 milligrams worth of sodium and the same amount of fat you’d get from 29 donuts.
- Domino’s Chicken Carbonara Bread Bowl Pasta —With 1,500 calories, more than 2,200 milligrams of sodium, and a lot of saturated fat, it’s as unhealthy as it gets!
- BK Triple Whopper Large Combo — Who doesn’t love large fries and a drink? Unfortunately, you’re packing a stunning 1,800 calories, 2,400 mg of sodium, and a whole lot more saturated fat than is good for you.
- Pizza Hut Triple Meat Italiano –– This ‘za packs a stunning 1,280 calories in a 9-inch personal pizza, plus 133% of your daily sodium and 28 grams of saturated fat.
- Subway BMT Footlong –– In this footlong sandwich, there is more than 3,000 mg of sodium. Add that to 900 calories and 16 grams of saturated fat, and you’re in for health problems for sure!
- Sonic SuperSONIC Bacon Double Cheeseburger –– Even without the mayo, this is a whopper burger. With 1,370 calories, 36 grams of saturated fat, and 1610 mg of sodium, it’s definitely on the list of “least healthy”.

- Taco Bell’s Waffle Taco — What a foul-sounding breakfast this is! Think scrambled eggs wrapped in a processed “meat” patty and stuffed into a taco, with maple syrup drizzled over the top. Ew!
